AuthorTopic: Steelhead Intruder Flies (Read 12398 times)

I thought it would be a cool if we started a thread where we share our steelhead intruder flies. Kind of like a brainstorm of ideas and to help people tie intruders. Here is one I tied the other day on a tube fly. Lets see your intruders

yeah it's pretty brutal on the mainland. The only ones I can find are some on ebay for like $2 per strand or some I have stumbled across at random stores...as hair jewelery for like $20. It's simple but looks killer one shop which will not be named had them a while ago for $100 a pack taking advantage!

I have resorted to making my own using white hackle and a permanent marker.

be damn careful because koolaid can also dye your counter tops. I have 1 blue spot and a purple spot from my first batches cause i wasnt paying close enough attention. I used the koolaid and microwave technique, follow instructions its super easy

the blue hackle is what i dyed same with the purple. I actually have several other colours that i had bought already because i use them for other flies also (like red and orange) i played around trying to get a hot pink but koolaid doesnt work good enough so you may want to look into using RIT dye instead. RIT is also good for other colours ive been told but it WILL stain things very easily
